Holds 1/4 MOA to 1,000.  This will be my F(T/R) load this spring.

Holy Tomoly!

Guess now you can kick my butt…

I've never had a gun that shoots as good as this.  Whenever I go to the range I feel like I won the Tikka lottery!

We'll see how I do under pressure next year…

I cant shoot anywhere near that level but I felt the same way when I got my first Tikka, a 204 HB. It shoots so well that I dont even use 100 yds to work up my loads. At 100 yds it will sub moa almost any powder, bullet, combination. Its just a hoot.

Since then I have added a 204 lite for walking varmints. a 223 HB, a 22-250 T3 lite. All except the 22-250 are very accurate , the 22-250 is proving to be more of a challenge.

How far from the lands would you be seating the bullets.
I got my 80.5 bullets and powder, when I get home, i am ready to begin working them up.

You won't be disappointed.  In my gun, they perform better than the 80 VLDs or 80MKs

I was floored at how fast they are able to go.  My loads started with the Sierra minimums and I didn't even reach the max.  I just saw the chronograph data and decided to stop going higher on the loads.  There were no pressure signs, but my experience with small cartridges like the 223 is that it can go over pressure very quickly.

what powder were you using.?

Glad to hear on the 80.5 full bore. I have some on order, was afraid it wouldnt stabilize.
